is that you, ShawnWM? Man, you need some therapy - though I don't know if it would help, in your case.
Try Googling "apostrophe", btw.
Peace.
What is worse than Hillary touting her victory in Puerto Rico - which has ZERO electoral votes. She insists on the relevance of her victories in KY, WVA, etc. And Massachusetts! My goodness of what value is a 15% victory in such a reliably RED state? So what if she was endorsed by those Democratic lightweights Kennedy and Kerry? The vote just represents those racist uninformed hicks, or something.
no therapy needed thanks though--not here anyhow. although i might suggest some for you obama fools who have the big denial blinders on. he's a lame candidate. all hillary voters will go to mccain. game set match. you lose. you made that mistake with the cintons-- now you're repeating history and it's so booorrrrring!
Amazingly, there are still democrats out there who believe that Barack Hussein Obama (Oops! I said his middle name - I know that's off limits! Sorry!) will win the general election and electoral college vote despite his race (Oops! I mentioned his race - I know that's off limits! Sorry!) and the fact that the polls are showing his failure to take key demographics - demographics needed to win in th electoral college.
Stupid (Oops! I mentioned that his supporters are stupid! I know that's off limits! Sorry!) democrats who elect an empty suit (Oops! I mentioned his complete lack of any accomplishment! I know that's off limits! Sorry!) for a nominee shouldn't be shocked when his totals compare with Dukakis and McGovern. I'd like to thank the liberal wing of the Democratic Party for nominating a guy who carries with him so many taboo subjects that I'm surprised his supporters can find something to post about. He can't win. Shame on any of you for pushing this untested, unvetted (wait until you see Michele's video where she's screaming about 'whitey' - they're waiting to release that until, what, October?) flavor of the month during the most important time in this country's history.
you are a political genius
Re: "For 16 years we conservatives"
You people gave us Dubya, the worst President in US History. Hey, let's vote for a DUI drunk who was unemployed until age 40. He and his cohorts--all former employees of Tricky Dick Nixon--have shredded our constitution and lied to get us into war. And to top it off, the guy can't even speak English. But Rush said to vote for him, so he must be good. Duh...
It doesn't get any lower than that. So take your opinions of our candidates and shove them up your smelly right wing arse.
dearest shawn, no offense but your argumnets are tired. go to cuba for your next surgery and let me know how it goes. IF you're so in love with socialist policies I ould suggest a few third world locals for you to put roots down. otherwise please step aside and watch our free-market system do its magic.
Don't you tragic arses have anything else to do, apart from sniffing around the dying corpse of the right-wing experiment?
You know who I'm talking to, you paid emissaries of shit-eating.
You're still all twats, by the way.
you're just stupid.
way to go faulker. i'll look to you for medical expertise when it comes to policy making. loser.
Did Shawn change troll labels, because the racist vitriol sounds pretty familiar?
Shawn the "Hillary supporter" racist troll is fighting his multiple personality Kimbah the "avowed conservative" racist troll. Maybe they could fight this out in his (sorry, "their") psychiatrist's office.
Obama, our next president. LIVE WITH IT.
What is this on Salon I see? Why, it's about the one millionth billionth photo of Hillary claiming victory somewhere.
Can't remember when I've seen a picture of Obama at any of his victory rallies. Even on those nights when Hillary won one and Obama won one, guess who gets the big photo?
Good thing Salon is so objective, otherwise I'd suspect a huge bias on this site. I can't wait until the convention, when Obama gets his inevitable nomination. I'm sure the picture on Salon then will be of Hillary, looking on from the sidelines.
can't you get your head around the idea that more than a few million americans are on line? plus, let me add that not all of them are drinking the obama koolaid. im not making friends here cause you guys don't want to hear the truth. i hate hillary. i moderately like mccaine, but i detest obama because he's such a phony and you guys bought it--the whole gig is up. you chose a lemon. why did you jump so fast/ i just can't get over it. you bought it. funny how some people want to believe in fairy tales.
"territory whose citizens (while technically American) cannot vote in the general election."
I think you have no understanding of what you are saying here. Your use of the word 'citizen' unless meant in the arcane way it was used after the revolution is misguided. We don't really think of people from New Jersey as 'citizens' of New Jersey but rather as residents of New Jersey. In the modern common parlance one is a citizen of a country and a resident of a state. While it is arguable that there may be an ethnic or cultural Puertorrican nationality no such thing exists legally. Persons born in Puerto Rico simply are US citizens, just like those born in Utah.
There is zero difference in the citizenship status of persons born in Puerto Rico v. that of persons born in say Pennsylvania. Puertorricans can vote in the general US election if they reside in a state, dc, or abroad, but a Pennsylvanian cannot vote in the same election if he resides in Puerto Rico. Thus it is not an issue of someone being "technically" a US citizen. What matters here is where they reside. The incredibly insane part of all of this is that Puerto Rico is a part of the US but its residents cannot vote in the general US election, however, were these same residents to move to France or China then they could vote in the general election.
So the question we should be asking is not why have US citizens that cannot vote in the general election vote in the primary, but rather how can we justify that US citizens living in the US, who are subject to US federal law, have no say as to who runs the federal government. It is not the parties' mistake to have a more inclusive and democratically accurate system than that of the general election, rather it is the government's mistake to not include the votes of US citizens in the general election.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
